studied and understood. In such explosions, there is a temporary but drastic increase in brightness that Citizen
Astronomers can observe to help astronomers understand these cataclysmic events.
Exoplanets
An extrasolar planet – better known as an exoplanet – is a distant planet orbiting a star other than our Sun.
As exoplanets orbit their parent star, they may pass – or transit – in front of that star as seen from Earth. As
it transits, the exoplanet blocks out a fraction of the star's light. This small change in the star's light can be
observed by space scientists and Unistellar Citizen Astronomers to detect exoplanets. So far, space scientists
have discovered and confirmed over 5,000 exoplanets, and with their Unistellar telescopes, Citizen Astronomers
can confirm even more of these alien worlds!
Comets
A comet is a small Solar System body made of ices and dust. When a comet gets close enough to the Sun on its
orbit, ices on the surface will turn to gas. This phenomenon gives rise to the beautiful tails comets are known for.
Comets may break into multiple pieces, visit us only once every century, or even leave our Solar System. Although
comets are hard to predict, Citizen Astronomers can observe their close approaches and monitor their activity to
help space scientists understand cometary behavior and structure.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
4
It's recommended to store the Odyssey or the Odyssey Pro in the original packaging, battery charged with the
cap on the top of the tube. Keep your telescope away from light and moisture. Dismantling your telescope without
authorization from Unistellar will void the warranty.
Unable to connect
Please note that if your device is not connected to the telescope during the first opening of the app, the second
prompt will not appear until you connect it to the telescope.
Can not take image / How to save image

Unistellar's App would like to access your Photos
The first prompt will request the access to all photos
If you are not connected to the telescope, the second prompt will not appear.
The last prompt, about Photos, may only occur the first time you try to access the image gallery, so we recommend
activating it from the start by tapping on the last (rightmost) icon at the bottom of your screen.
Add a filter
Please keep in mind that using filters troubles the focus. Adding a filter to your camera is at your own risk. In case
of damage, or in case you used a filter and your unit will not be covered by the warranty.
Point to another part of the sky with the joystick and try again.
Center manually the object before starting the Dynamic Signal Amplification.
